THINK what did we do last lesson?

BUT…why do you think we did it???

REMEMBER NO SHOUTING OUT!!!

How do we know if a country is an LEDC or

MEDC???

LEDC MEDC

Development indicatorsLO:

Investigate less developed, developing and developed countries?

Look at how we measure development in countries.

How will achieve the lesson:

Understand what development means?Look at development indicators in 10 countries.Sort these countries out into 3 categories and locate them on a world map.Analyse the location, is there a pattern?

Before we can go any further

What does DEVELOPMENT mean ???

• Think about this individually.

• Then share with your partner.

• Then we will let the dice decide on some answers.

What are development indicators?

There is not a single way to calculate the level of development of a country.

Geographers use a series of development indicators to compare the development of one country to another.

*Can you think of any indicators?*

• Health. Does the population have access to medical care?

• Industry. What type of industry dominates? LEDCs focus on primary industries, such as farming, fishing and mining. MEDCs focus on secondary industries, such as manufacturing. The most advanced countries tend to focus more on tertiary or service industries, such as banking and information technology.

• Education. Do the population have access to education? Is it free? What level of education is available (ie primary, secondary or further/higher education)?

Development indicatorsSocial measures Economic measures

Birth rate

Death rate

Infant mortality rate

Adult literacy rate

Doctor patient ratio

Life expectancy

Employment structure (primary, secondary, tertiary etc)

GDP ( total value of goods and services produced by a country in a year $)

GNI (gross national income- includes money earned overseas) $

Trade

.

Using the map describe the distribution of wealth / income that it shows

A comparison of BR and GNI

The Human Development Index HDI• Another way to look ay measuring development is the HDI -

Life expectancy, education and GDP are taken into account.

Using the indicators work out

• Using the data from the countries identify if you think the country is developed, developing or less developed?

• Once you have decided try to order the countries into a rank of where you think they would come – from best to lowest.

Question

Using countries you have studied as examples discuss how LEDCs and MEDCs differ in their level of development

Home work

Due next week - measuring development sheet. Answers in your book/ paper

What most important to you?

Money Family Friends Clean water

Being healthy Being happy Love Toilet Food SexRank these of importanceWhat cant you live without??Extension: now do a list that someone might have in an LEDC

homework

Have you got it…… be honest….

Ben and Elliot – I need your homework that was due last monday

Standard vs. Quality

LOs:To understand the difference between standard of living and quality of life

To explain how people in poorer countries can improve their quality of life

Standard of living

Standard of living – takes into account GDP per capita.

People on a dollar a dayhttp://www.worldmapper.org/posters/worldmapper_map179_ver5.pdf

Quality of life

The Quality of life is different to standard of livingThis measure whether people have a longer life expectancy, literacy and number of years spent in school, and GDP.

It also takes into account a safe, clean environment, voting rights, rights to privacy.

Matopeni – slum in Nairobi (Capital of Kenya. 60% of people in Nairobi live in places like this.

No clean drinking water, no toilets, no education or

healthcare.

What should be done?

In pairs think of what could be

done to improve the quality of life

You will be presenting to the rest of the class what you think should be done

Write it in your book!

toilet and shower blocks.Employed local people to clean and maintain

them.

They charge people a small fee for using them. They use the money to improve other parts of

the community - emergency healthcarePut in a well

Organised rubbish collectionEducates people about health

The development gap

What happens as rich places get richer and poor places get poorer? LO: to understand how the physical and human factors make the gap between richer and poor countries wider.

There is a big development gap between the richest and poorer countries. Factors make the gap wider.

Case study spider diagram
